Axillary lymphnode mets after below elbow amputation due to reccurent giant cell tumor –a rare case report

Understanding Giant cell tumor (GCT) of bone has been described as the most challenging benign bone tumors. The majority of these tumors, classically, are involved in the epiphysis of long bones. Although this disorder is benign, GCTs show a tendency of bone destruction, local recurrence and, occasionally, pulmonary metastasis. But axillary lymohnode metastasis is very very rare. Herein, we present an extremely rare case of axillary mets even after below elbow amputation in a case of recurrent giant cell tumor in a 45 yers male residing at Kolkat,.West Bengal. We treat him by radical axillary lumph node dissection.Lymph node histopatho;ogical report shows Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) activity.
